how to install Draper Low Voltage Control with 2 Switches LVC-IV, 2 LVC-S

Installing the Draper LVC-IV kit is designed to be straightforward for qualified technicians. The process emphasizes safety, proper wiring, and correct configuration to ensure reliable operation of the connected 115V/230V motor. While exact steps may vary depending on the motor and third‑party controller in use, the general installation flow is as follows:

1. Prepare the installation site: Select a dry, accessible enclosure or control panel where the LVC-IV module and two LVC-S switches can be mounted. Ensure there is adequate ventilation and clearance for wiring and connectors.
2. Mount the LVC-IV and LVC-S switches: Securely mount the LVC-IV control module in the chosen enclosure. Place the two LVC-S switches within easy reach of the operator or located at two distinct control points as required by the installation design.
3. Connect control wiring: Run low‑voltage control wires from the third‑party controller to the dry contact/serial input points on the LVC-IV. Attach the LVC-S switches to the corresponding low‑voltage input terminals, following Draper’s wiring diagrams and local electrical codes.
4. Connect to the motor: Wire the LVC-IV output to the controlled 115V/230V motor circuit per the installation guide, ensuring correct phase and voltage connections. Use proper strain relief and secure all terminations to prevent accidental disconnections.
5. Configure control interfaces: Depending on the selected control method (dry contact, RF, IR, or serial), configure the LVC-IV module and any connected third‑party controller to recognize the inputs. If using RF or IR, pair remotes or transmitters as required by the system setup.
6. Test operation: With power restored, perform a controlled test of the motor operation, verifying that all input methods (dry contact, RF, IR, serial) correctly activate and stop the motor as intended. Check for proper response times and ensure there are no unintended activations.
7. Finalize and document: Label control points, document wiring and configuration for future maintenance, and secure all components to maintain a clean, serviceable installation.
